Talibunny goes high-end shopping in India, India reports, Palin institutes a complete media blackout

War Room
Sarah Palin now also mad at India's lamestream media
By Alex Pareene



Palin and her husband, Todd, are traveling alone. There's been very little press attention. But India Reloaded TV was, for a time, reporting on Palin's activities in India. Yesterday, Palin checked into her hotel and then went to a high-end shopping mall. According to IRTV, nothing in the mall costs less than $500. Palin liked a jacket, but the fit wasn't right, so she did not buy it. She returned to her hotel.

Apparently that report did not go over well with the Palin camp! Because on day two of the trip, they instituted a complete media blackout on Palin's activities.

It appears that our coverage from yesterday has been a source of great consternation in the Palin camp -- which was not the intended result of our reportage. Since last evening there has been a virtual blackout of all information about her movements.

IRTV would want Ms. Palin to enjoy India to its fullest and would like her to know that we wish her well. And since we have established that someone from their team is actually viewing this blog, as no other media outlet is covering Ms.Palin (they are, it appears, not interested), we are confident that this message will get passed on to her.

3. It's too much to expect that she might develop a conscience.
But visiting India might affect her a little in the right direction. Might.

5. I wondered why she'd been so quiet lately.
I thought for sure Meghan McCain's remarks would provoke an outraged twit, I mean, tweet.
